“体验性假说”是认知语言学的核心内容之一。该学说认为“人的身体的、认知的及社会的体验是形成概念系统及语言系统的基础”。本实证研究是运用汉语语料对该学说的验证。受试为北京外国语大学英语学院 2 0 0 2级 2 7名研究生。本文以受试撰写的关于“思想”的短文为语料 ,分析了“思想”的各种隐喻模式 ,得出结论 :“思想”是具体的事物 ;“心”和“脑”都是思维器官及“思想”的容器 ,但是“心”更为典型 ;西方文化中的“心智是身体”的隐喻系统也存在于汉语中 ,但它只是“思想是具体的事物”隐喻系统的一种表现。研究结论支持了“体验性假说”。
“Experiential hypothesis” is one of the core contents of cognitive linguistics. The doctrine holds that “human physical, cognitive, and social experience form the basis of a conceptual system and linguistic system.” This empirical study is the verification of this theory using Chinese corpus. Subjects were 27 graduate students at Level 202 in Beijing Foreign Studies University. This essay analyzes the various metaphorical modes of “thought” based on the essay “thought” written by the subject and concludes that “thought” is a concrete thing; both “heart” and “brain” are organs of thought and However, “heart” is more typical. The metaphorical system of “mind is body” in western culture also exists in Chinese, but it is only a manifestation of metaphorical system of “thought is concrete thing”. The conclusion of the research supports “experiential hypothesis”.
